Guidelines for Determining Use of Sprouted Grain for Seed
• Seed that has sprouted so severely that the radicle and coleoptile are visible should not be used.
• Wheat or barley known to have sprout damage with low test weight (less than 56 lb/bu for wheat and 42 lbs/bu for barley) should not be used.
• If sprout damaged seed is used increase seeding rate to compensate for reduced germination.
• Do not use sprouted seed that has been stored for more than one year.
